I am coming back on Sunday. I’m working with an artist to come up with a new feature for Ask Vampire Bear and people just stopped asking questions which led to less content. If only there were a way to get people to ask him more questions. My biography can wait until I’m back in NY. 🙂

The new feature is going to be a weekly lesson – it will involve a downloadable pdf and a video that will help teach that pdf to you. In time you will be able to have an entire book – or order a ‘professional’ copy, of course. I will keep the topic of the weekly lesson until we’re ready to launch. 🙂
G-d willing I’m going to be back in NY by the end of August – and I’m going to be living on the Upper West Side. I’ll be able to take you out one night to see Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater. 🙂

That sounds like a fascinating thing you’re doing with VB, Gordon. Good luck with it!
You already have a place picked out in NYC? Upper West Side is a primo place. I prefer the Lower East Side just because it’s a little more gritty, but you’ll have a delightful time there.

I was partially inspired by the awesome ASL book you and Janna wrote.
For awhile I’m hopefully staying with a friend of mine. The kick of the UWS is that it has everything a Jew like me needs – kosher restaurants, a large choice of places to get my prayer on, and a supportive community. 🙂
(No comment on my UCBT offer? Almost all of their shows are still five bucks!)

You’ll have to be more detailed about your inspiration, Gordon!
I know a lot of Jews who live up thar’, Gordon! It is a wonderful spot filled with families and fine company.
I’m not big on cursing — visit the UCBT you link and you’ll see they’re big potty mouths!

All I can say for now is the inspiration came from the genius combination of video, images, and text. 🙂
There are some shows you can see at UCBT where the cursing is limited or not at all – it’s all down to the performers. I am actually thinking of signing up for a few improv classes. When I perform at the end of the semester, so to speak, you can be guaranteed no potty mouth from me! 🙂
